Critical Mass this Friday

[TitusTi]

Spring is almost upon us, the days get longer, skirts get shorter and life is good again!

 

CM is happening this Friday, not quite Spring Day but pretty close, so everyone haul out your happy best and lets get stuck into some solid commuting, maybe a bit of chatting and all this followed by a cuppa at out local favourite Deluxe Coffee Works on Lower Church Street.

 

We meet at the Baxter at 06:45 and cruise through to town on the Bike Paths (which end in Salt River but anyway), then pick up the rest of the folks in front of the CTICC at about 07:15 (closer to 07:20) then head over the new bridge, through the Waterfront and along Beach Road, up Glengarriff and along the cycle path on the left back into town.

 

We keep losing folks in town on the way to Deluxe, so the basic route is as follows:

Up Bree, left into LongMarket (down), cross Long and take the next right into Burg and the next left is Lower Church.

 

See you all out there for Spring.

[Oliver Williams]

I work would have to take the morning off although not a bad reason to do so - when is the next one? maybe give a bit more notice next time...anybody riding back to southern suburbs?

I might pop my head out of the hotel to watch u guys leave the CTICC but its breakfast time for me so busy

[Thinkbeeg]

Sounds good. I commute from Tableview, will try and meet up at CTICC.

[Nobody]

All those coming from Tableview, Meet at Sunset beach Petrol station at 6:30AM or Woodbridge Island bridge at 6:47AM (I dont really know how long it takes.

 

To the organisers, Please could we enforce the helmet rule. Makes me think twice about the reason for doing this when we want people to notice us and we arent obeying the rules.

[Gasping]

My bad. I thought this was some sort of Catholic thing.

[Capricorn]

wow. i wanna see this. what's the official city-sanctioned organisation around this event cos that's pretty much peak hour. What routes will be followed from the westcoast into town?

I'm totally up for this, just need more clues

Critical Mass is a bicycling event typically held on the last Friday of every month in over 300 cities around the world. While the ride was originally founded in 1992 in San Francisco with the idea of drawing attention to how unfriendly the city was to cyclists, the leaderless structure of Critical Mass makes it impossible to assign it any one specific goal. In fact, the purpose of Critical Mass is not formalized beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets on bikes.
